Kemp's Grand Slam Helps Dodgers Beat Reds In 11
CINCINNATI (AP) -- Matt Kemp hit a tying grand slam in the eighth inning for his second homer of the game, and Jamey Carroll singled in the go-ahead run in the 11th, sending the Los Angeles Dodgers to an 11-8 victory over the Cincinnati Reds on Saturday.
The Dodgers pulled off their biggest comeback of the season and improved to 5-0 in extra innings.
Carroll's fourth hit started a four-run rally off Carlos Fisher (0-3). Aaron Miles also singled home a run, and Fisher's throwing error helped the Dodgers pull away. Kemp finished it with a run-scoring forceout for his career-high sixth RBI.
Rookie Javy Guerra (1-0) pitched out of a threat in the 10th for his first big league win.
